Police Uncover Meth Lab; Woman Arrested

A woman was being held on $75,000 bail Sunday for allegedly operating a methamphetamine lab in her home.

Victoria Corbett, 37, was arrested late Friday after police summoned to her house in the 13600 block of Estero Circle smelled chemicals commonly used in the production of the illegal drug, according to Lt. Joe Stickles, a spokesman for the Tustin Police Department.

Surrounding residences were evacuated while a hazardous-materials team conducted a search that, according to Stickles, subsequently uncovered the lab and enough chemicals to produce about a pound of methamphetamine.
